The little cousin of the group is actually a genius in cultivating immortals

The gray sky with thick clouds looks like a colorless ink painting.

The gray feathers that kept floating down from the sky were a terrifying presence.

The world under the oxygen mask is an isolated, silent space. Zhao Wenting led the team to walk with difficulty in this lifeless and dangerous environment, and every movement seemed extremely heavy.

The oxygen mask is tightly attached to the cheek, and a thin layer of mist condenses on the transparent mask, blurring the vision, forcing people to carefully identify the road ahead. Breathing becomes particularly precious in this environment, and every deep breath is accompanied by a slight vibration of the inner wall of the oxygen mask, as if you can feel the fragility and preciousness of life.

The surroundings were monotonous gray and white. The grass, the woods, the sky, everything was covered with a uniform tone, which made people feel an invisible sense of oppression. In this world surrounded by oxygen masks, their movements became slow and cautious.

"Rest where you are for ten minutes." Zhao Wenting's voice came into everyone's ears through the headset, and everyone sat down where they were.

Pei Ming sat on the slope and turned on the switch of the special defensive ash barrier layer, then took off the heavy helmet with oxygen mask on his head.

"Young Master, drink some water. The climate here is much drier than what we usually live in." Pei Ming handed the opened cup of water to Zhao Wenting.

Zhao Wenting's eyes were attracted by a small grass on the ground. It was growing tightly on the edge of the stone crevice, and its tender green leaves seemed out of place in this gray world.

A feather-like ash slowly fell down and landed on the stone. With the breeze, the ash moved to the new leaves of the grass. In just a moment, the new grass burned into the same gray ash and was annihilated in the breeze.

[It’s obviously trying so hard. ]

Zhao Wenting sighed silently in his heart under his expressionless face.

"Whoosh-!"

Suddenly, a ball of snow-white fur rushed to Zhao Wenting's legs at a speed faster than the human eye could see.

"alert!"

Following Pei Ming's order, all the soldiers who were resting quickly put on their hoods and raised their special weapons.

Zhao Wenting was no exception and put on the hood immediately.

When he saw the ball clearly, he found that it was a small animal, and it seemed to be injured.

He slowly picked up the little thing and looked at it carefully. The pair of lively little eyes seemed familiar; but its body was too dirty, and many parts of its hair were burned by the ashes falling from the sky, and even burned its skin.

"I didn't expect that there is life so close to Cen Lin Mountain." Zhao Wenting felt its weak heartbeat in the palm of his hand wearing isolation gloves, and he spoke slowly.

"Take it back." He turned around and handed the little thing to Pei Ming behind him. Even if he didn't take it away, it would probably not survive long in this environment.

Pei Ming just stretched out his hand to catch it, but the little ball of fur hit Zhao Wenting with a "bang", as if expressing its reluctance.

"Hey! It seems like it doesn't want me to touch it!" Pei Ming expressed his dissatisfaction, feeling in his heart that it was ungrateful.

"Forget it, I'll do it myself." Zhao Wenting said, bending down to pick up the little ball of fur that had fallen to the ground and curled up into a ball.

Now it was well behaved, lying quietly in Zhao Wenting's arms, not moving.

Apart from picking up a very ugly animal that looked like a ball of fur, Zhao Wenting's team still gained nothing on this patrol. They had originally intended to get closer to the crack in Cenlin Mountain, but the closer they got to the crack, the lower the air pressure became, and even the ashes falling from the sky became stronger. Even with the defensive equipment developed by the Bureau of Superpowers, they could not resist for long.

Zhao Wenting, who came to the research institute to check the progress of equipment research, happened to meet Huang Ruizhe.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with the latest developed equipment? Now you will have new equipment to change when you lead the team out." Huang Ruizhe took off the white gloves in his hand, patted Zhao Wenting on the shoulder and said.

Zhao Wenting nodded without saying anything and smiled.

"By the way, the little thing you brought back last time was actually a little white fox. After applying medicine on it, its hair has finally grown back." As he said that, Huang Ruizhe called his assistant to bring out the little white fox.

Zhao Wenting was also a little stunned when he saw the little white fox. The little white fox was like a white elf in the snow, with flawless white fur. The key point is: they have met more than once.

"Master, isn't this the one we saw before?" Pei Ming said with some surprise.

When the little white fox saw that it was Zhao Wenting, it immediately pounced on him again.

"Haha, the little thing is quite smart. It recognized its master so quickly." Huang Ruizhe said with a smile, then took the small box brought by the assistant and explained the contents to Zhao Wenting one by one: "This is a multifunctional hair trimmer, used to shave the little guy's hair; this is an external insect repellent essential oil drop, just spread the hair on the back of the neck like this and drop it directly on its skin; this is vitamin nutrient granules and nutrient paste, you can give it some regularly; and..."

"What a hassle." Zhao Wenting frowned slightly. He didn't expect that raising a little guy would be so troublesome.

"Although you say that, you're still holding it tightly and not letting go. How about you let me raise it? I'd be happy to do that." Huang Ruizhe pointed out Zhao Wenting's hypocritical words but upright actions without mercy.

Pei Ming stood aside and laughed secretly. Only he dared to confront his own young master in person.

Zhao Wenting said nothing. He just walked away with the little white fox in his arms, expressionless, proving with his actions that he wanted to raise the fox.

Mo Mo's funeral.

The sky was gloomy and covered with dark clouds, as if even nature was mourning for the departed soul. The funeral was conducted in a quiet and solemn atmosphere, with mournful music playing in a low and melodious manner, echoing over the empty cemetery.

Members of the Yan family, dressed in dark clothes and with solemn expressions, surrounded the coffin, silently expressing their remembrance and respect for the deceased.

[No, I'm not dead yet? Why are you holding a funeral for me? ]

[What a ridiculous move! Zhao Wenting, you actually took me to my own funeral!? Although I didn’t die, I was about to die of anger in the next second! ]

Mo Mo, who was lying in Zhao Wenting's arms, began to jump up and down restlessly. Zhao Wenting felt that he was a little dishonest today, so he reached out and grabbed his little paw to make him calm down.

"Woo~"

The little fox whimpered.

When Yan Mu saw the little white fox in Zhao Wenting's arms, he instantly thought of his lovely sister Mo Mo, and the fragility in his eyes became even more obvious.

"My condolences." Zhao Wenting came to Yan Mu, patted his shoulder to express his comfort.

[No, I'm right here, sorry for my loss! I just ran out of elixir and was turned back to my original form, I'm really not dead! Can anyone listen to me?]

The little fox Mo Mo kept whimpering, but in Yan Mu's eyes it seemed that even the little white fox was empathizing with his pain and sadness. He reached out and touched the little fox's soft head.

The little fox Mo Mo looked up at Yan Mu obediently. His eyes were full of red bloodshot, which showed that he often stayed up late during this period. There were two obvious dark circles under his eyes, as if they were the remnants of the night, or the mark of sadness.

Looking at the other members of the Yan family, they all had empty eyes, without the happy glow of a warm family in the past.

At this moment, Mo Mo hoped more than ever that she could return to her former self as soon as possible.
